Subject: Not bad....
....though I should have done a better job uploading it.

But anyway, not bad, not great, but not bad. James Dean used to do lots of TV parts to earn a living. He was always pretty distictive even then. His role isn't the main one, but he still gets a good amount of screen time in the episode.

I am astounded that this show hasn't been downloaded more. I had my doubts when I first watched it, as I'm not a big James Dean fan, but WOW what a story! Once you start watching, you begin to wonder, "Is the main character going to help others, or help himself since it's what he's always wanted."

You must watch and see for yourself!
